A woman writing about memories of places visited, 1850

Daily Thoughts 03/13/2020

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook this morning.

I read some more of The Art of Memory.  I am reading about Lullism which is a system of memory from the middle ages.

I checked the displays and the gift books.

I put two orders of new books in.

I picked out some biography books to be put in the mezzanine.

I worked on a selection list for the library.

I also checked the New York Times Bestseller list and the Publishers Weekly Bestseller list.
